DAVID S. QUIMBY, OF BROOKLYN, NEV YORK.

FIREPLACE-HEATER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 30.349, dated October 9, 1860.

i To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID S. QUIMBY, of Brooklyn, in the county ofKings, in the State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedFireplace'Heater; and I do hereby declare that the following is a fulland exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in whichFigure l is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross sectionshowing the perforated plates A, B, C, D, fire box F, and exit flue E.Fig. 3, is a vertical longitudinal section showing the perforated platesA, B, C, D, fire box F, smoke flues G, G and the direct opening flue H,to the exit flue E. Fig. 4 is the base or bottom plate I), perforatedand set on legs about one inch above the foundation to allow for theadmission of fresh air to the fire for the aid of combustion. Fig. 5 isthe top plate A perforated to spread the current of warm air as itenters the room. Figs. 6 and 7 are intermediate plates between the baseand top plates to spread and equalize the heated air in its ascent tothe top plate or top of a flue covered with a plate similar to Fig. 5.

The large space between the outer shell I and the fire box F is for thepurpose of heating a large amount of air to a moderate degree not sohigh as to injure its quality for warming purposes.

The apparatus is to be made of cast iron in the same manner as stovesare ordinarily 1 constructed.

The operation is: Light a fire of wood or coal in a grate to be fastenedinto the opening J of Fig. 6. Air is admitted through the base plate Dand the plate above it marked Fig. 7, for the aid of combustion and forheating purposes. As the heated air rises it passes through theperforated plate Fig. 6, and out at the top plate Fig. 5, to heat theroom in which the heater is placed, and through tubes with a perforatedplate like Fig. 5 on their top ends to heat other rooms. I11 starting afire the damper or valve in the flue H from the fire box F to the exitfiue E, should be left open, but when the tire is fairly started thevalve should be closed and the products of combustion made to traveldown flues G G and to enter the exit fiue E at the base plate D whichhas a raised boss K to guide the products of combustion to the exit flueE.

I do not claim the bringing a current of cold air to the heater to beheated and dif fused in the same or another room. But

hat I do claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent isThe arrangement of the fire box F, perforated plates A, B, G, D, withthe flues G G and flue E, arranged and operated as described.
